Written by Geoff Barbanell and Itai Grunfeld and directed by Marc Buckland, Linda From HR centers on the eponymous heroine, Linda Plugh (Graham). All it takes is one bad decision to throw Linda from HR’s monotonous, unfulfilled life into an exciting but dangerous tailspin of balancing work life, home life and a secret that could unravel everything.

DeKay will play Linda’s husband Dan Plugh, an average guy who can’t help but win people over. Knight will portray Alan, an accountant on a work trip who has been enjoying spending lunches with Linda and is hiding a secret.

Linda From HR comes from Tracy Katsky’s Kat Co., under the company’s production partnership with Aaron Kaplan’s Kapital Entertainment, and 20th TV. Barbanell and Grunfeld executive produce with Kaplan, Katsky and Dana Honor.

DeKay starred as Peter Burke on all six seasons of USA’s White Collar and more recently co-starred on the Fox/20th TV drama series Second Chance and did an arc on Fox/WBTV’s Lucifer. He will be seen in the upcoming third season of ABC’s American Crime. DeKay is repped by Paradigm, Lonestar Entertainment and attorney David Matlof.

Knighton played Dave Rose on ABC’s Happy Endings and most recently guest-starred on The Good Fight and Fresh Off the Boat. He’s repped by UTA, 3 Arts and attorney James Adams.

Why does Fox even bother anymore with these low-concept sitcoms? All that time, effort and money for a 0.9 rating in the demo at best and a run of a season or two.

When Fox began they ran shows that were offbeat, exciting and raw. Is there more competition now? Certainly. But run-of-the-mill stuff like this sitcom pilot isn’t going to change the game. Where is the new Simpsons, Married With Children, American Idol or Family Guy?

DeKay is great at Comedy! His comedic scenes in White Collar were always his best.
